Message: [QUOTE="creatorsgam, post: 3049025"] The sport is doing just fine. I appreciate your opinion but I respectfully disagree. No offsides? Gym class soccer. Rec ball. Kick it long and chase. No thanks. Tactics go out the window. As a former player that used to play up top on occasion, as well as a former wide midfielder, I loved trying to time the run/delivery to break the offside trap. Such a big part of the sport. As a current coach, I love scheming and coaching to break it. Sudden death overtime is a tough sell. The amount of distance covered by a player over a course of 90+ minutes is insane. It doesn’t lend itself to sudden death. It isn’t basketball. Scoring is meant to be difficult, and rewarded as such. Rules can be examined... but for now the world disagrees. [/QUOTE]
